Vodka Rosemary Lemonade Fizz Reviews

Aromatic sprigs of rosemary smooth out vodka-spiked lemonade, providing a bracing counterpoint to the lusty flavors of the many antipasti dishes. It's a great addition to anyone's cocktail canon. To make a kid-friendly quaff, simply omit the vodka.

LOVED IT. Went 2 oz/drink, and it
still tasted like a refresshing
lemonade. Couldn't taste the rosemary,
but still a bragging point that I had
gone to so much trouble (which was no
trouble at all). Served mid-May, so
garnished with freshly picked
strawberriers.

Wow, so good! Our
next door neighbors
introduced me to
this deliciousness
in its original
form, and then when
I made it I made
some adjustments.
It also makes a
great holiday
cocktail, as the
aroma of rosemary
seems to be a
welcome wintry herb.
Plus, our gigantic
rosemary "bush" is
holding up quite
well under the
frigid temperatures
so I'm putting it to
good use. I wanted
a stronger rosemary
flavor, so instead
of taking it out
after an hour I made
the syrup the night
before and allowed
the rosemary to
continue to steep in
the syrup in the
refrigerator
overnight. I also
cheated and used 1/2
lime, 1/2 lemon
juice and enjoyed it
even more. As with
some other
reviewers, I also
added a larger
volume of vodka to
each drink. If you
can get your hands
on some Żubrówka
vodka, made in
Poland, it adds a
whole new dimension
to this already
amazing cocktail!

This is a great, light, summer drink. The recipe, as written, (+ double the vodka) is fantastic.
I made this adjustment and liked it even better.
Zest the lemons prior to juicing.
Cut sugar down from 1 cup to ½ cup.
Add lemon zest to the sugar and rosemary when making the simple syrup.
Strain syrup thru cheese cloth to get out the zest.
This doesnt make it health food, but, I like it better and it cuts out 387 calories.

Loved this recipe- served these while out boating and they were a big hit. Like one of the other reviewers, I also tend to be a little heavy-handed with the liquor, but this drink could definitely handle it. This cocktail is refreshing on a warm day.

agree that this drink stands out! will definetly be making this again this summer. also agree with the previous reviewer that more vodka is called for than the recipe suggests. for pictures and more information on making this recipe see my blog www.oenopile.blogspot.com

A wonderfully refreshing cocktail. I'm typically a wine only person, but this caught my interest and I'm glad I tried it. I agree with the earlier reviewer, don't alter the balance - the syrup is very strong.
